Music has always been tied to generations and social contexts, which is why there are often clashes in musical preferences between age groups with significant generational gaps. For instance, those born in the 1960s–1970s tend to gravitate toward rock, jazz, and clαѕѕic ballads, while Gen Z and Gen Alpha lean more toward electronic pop, hip-hop, or K-pop.
Yet when it comes to BTS, all boundaries seem to disappear! This is no exaggeration — the ARMY fandom is famously diverse, with fans of all ages from across the globe, particularly in the West, where even middle-aged and senior fans are proudly part of the crowd. At the group’s concerts, it’s not uncommon to spot older fans enthusiastically cheering along.
And it’s not just everyday people — many Western celebrities have also fallen under the spell of these кσяєαn idols. The list of middle-aged stars joining the ARMY includes icons like Emma Stone, Simon Pegg, Nicholas Galitzine, Tyra Banks, and now, Hollywood legend Uma Thurman.
For those unfamiliar, Uma Thurman is an actress who has been nominated for an Oscar, BAFTA, and multiple Golden Globes, winning one. She’s an emblem of 1990s–2000s αмєяι¢αn cinema, best known for her roles in action, crime, and feminist films.
Her impressive filmography includes Pulp Fiction (1994), Kill Bill: Vol. 1 & 2 (2003–2004), Gattaca (1997), Dangerous Liaisons (1988), Batman & Robin (1997), and Nymphomaniac.
Recently, the actress was spotted in the same frame as RM and V at two fashion shows — Bottega Veneta and CELINE — during the second Fashion Week season of 2025. Naturally, when photos and clips capturing interactions between GRAMMY-nominated K-pop idols and an Oscar-nominated Hollywood superstar нιт social media, they received an outpouring of love from fans around the world.
But what truly caught fans’ attention was Uma Thurman’s revelation in an interview with WWD, where she confirmed that she is a dedicated BTS fan, accompanied by a true fangirl wish.
“I’m a fan but I’ve never seen them in concert”, she said. Before claiming that, she also commented about her moment with V: “That’s like a lifetime photo”.
The moment her quote was reported, ARMYs went wild online — even a Hollywood icon nearing 60 is now eagerly waiting for BTS’s 2026 concert tour. Fans jokingly “complained” that securing tickets just became even harder with her joining the competition.
To make things funnier, a GIF of Uma Thurman wielding the legendary Hattori Hanzō sword from Kill Bill (2003–2004) quickly went viral as a meme, symbolizing her “fιgнтing” alongside ARMYs to get tickets.
Social media is now flooded with hilarious comments from fans proud to share the same fandom as the Hollywood legend Uma Thurman:
- NOW I'M FIGHTING UMA THURMAN FOR TICKETS???
